Dolphins could be on first place on Monday morning

Depending on what happens in this weekend’s game, the Miami Dolphins could find themselves in first place in the AFC East.

The New England Patriots will play in a Super Bowl LI rematch against the Atlanta Falcons, while the Buffalo Bills will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So with a 4-2 record, the Dolphins could potentially be at the top of the division with a win over the Jets on Sunday.

Although fans might be happy with the Dolphins potentially being in first place on Monday morning, head coach Adam Gase says he isn’t too concerned about it.

“I have no idea,” Gase said on Friday. “I’m not worried about anybody else. We’ve got to worry about us.”

The Dolphins will play the Jets for the second time this season. In their first meeting, the Jets shocked the Dolphins 20-6 in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated.

The Jets held the Dolphins to just 30 yards on the ground. While the Jets defense has given up an average of 138.8 yards on the ground this season, Gase says the Jets have a talented defense.

“They’re tough to run against, because the front is stout, the linebackers are tackling well,” Gase said. “They’re getting through there and making plays and then those safeties are doing a great job of getting guys down. That’s what makes it tough. It’s going to be about how well do we stay on our blocks? How physical are we at the point of attack? That’s really what it’s going to come down to for us.”
